I am writing to highlight an issue concerning an invalid traffic challan issued to my vehicle. On July 15, 2024, I received a challan from a female traffic police officer. However, upon reviewing the details, I discovered discrepancies that render it invalid.
The specific details of the challan are as follows:
• Challan Number: PNCCM[protected]
• Date of Issuance:[protected]
• Violation Description: Dangerous driving (Sec 184 MVA)
• Reason for Discrepancy:
My friend, who holds a valid driver’s license, was driving the vehicle while I was a passenger. Due to his lack of familiarity with the roads in Pune and the heavy rain, he made a right turn from MG Road onto East Street, which is a designated “No Entry” zone. His speed was approximately 20-30 km/hr as he was looking for a parking spot to wait safely under cover during the rain.
The traffic police officer who issued the challan was a lady whose name remains unknown, as her face was covered with a handkerchief. She works under PI Sunil Pandharkar at Lashkar Police Station, Pune. Upon receiving the challan, I promptly visited the police station to discuss the issue with the concerned traffic police officer. Unfortunately, she had already left for the day, as informed by another police official on duty, Mr. Somnath Sawalkar. Mr. Sawalkar explained that the challan cannot be reversed, and I would need to address it in court.
I find it unacceptable that an inappropriate challan for dangerous driving was issued instead of a “No Entry” violation. I kindly request your urgent intervention to take strict action against the concerned lady traffic police officer for misusing her position and harassing people by sending incorrect challans to court. I also request that the challan be rectified appropriately so that I can pay the fine according to traffic rules. I have attached a copy of the relevant challan and the unclear photo sent to me.
